Moreover, for every page of the compressed PDF (there are 3 pages), I tried
getting the COSStream for each of the page :
PDPage firstPage=(PDPage)
document.getDocumentCatalog().getAllPages().get(0);
pdStream=firstPage.getContents();
COSStream stream=pdStream.getStream();
In the above code snippet, the object stream, when analyzed in debug mode,
has the following:
The line from the compressed PDF as opened with Notepad++ is :
<</Filter/FlateDecode/Length 5675>>stream
>From this point on, using the COSStream object for every page, how can I
decompress and find out the acroform fields given that the unFilteredStream
object is null for COSStream?
